When friendship is transgression (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday, the same day that over 100 Israeli terrorists violently attacked the Toubassis family to prevent them from returning to their home in the village of Jalud, the day a young Gazan mother named Aiman Abd El A’al was shot by the Israeli army, the day that the army had imposed yet another closure on the West Bank preventing Palestinians from moving or going anywhere, that same day I made a party.

Read excerpt
I’m feeling, again, like we Jews remember too much. We should try letting go a little. Remembering less. Being more in the present than in the past. Subscribe nowI am really not into Tisha B'av. Less and less as each year passes. For so many reasons.
